UNITED NATIONS (AN) — The world's leading international organizations and the order they represent are "under attack" politically but must work together to keep going, U2 frontman Bono told a diplomatic gathering to launch Ireland's bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
In a speech to diplomats and staff at New York's Madison Square Garden, the Irish rocker and activist helped his nation make its case for a council seat from 2021 to 2022. The vote is planned for June 2020. He said Ireland's knack for storytelling and compromise show "how you achieve peace."
